MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
They Meet and Nominate a State
Ticket.


BALTIMORE, Nd, July 27.-The Demo-
cratic state convention for the nOmina-
ton of governor, attorney general and
comptroller. was called to order at 1920
p. m. by United States Senator German,
chairman of the state central executive
committee, with Col. J. Thomas Scharf,
of Baltimore city, as secretary. Senator
German opened The convention with
short ad dress, in which he paid high
tribute to the worth of President Cleve-
land, and concluded by saying that he
could 10 longer serve on the committee,
owing to the muitifariOuS duties of his
position as United States senator.
Bernard Carter, of Baltimore city,
was then chosen temporary president.
with Thomas Taylor, of Arundel, and
Henry Silver, of Talbot, secretaries. A
committee composed of one member
from each county and each legislative
district of Baltimore city to examine
the credentials of the delegates was then
selected. A committee selected in the
same way was also chosen on resolu-
tionS and platform. The ballOting began
at 3 o'clock, and on the sixth ballot
Elihu E. jackson, of WicOmicO county,
received a majority of all the votes of
the convention and was declared the
nominee for governor. Elihu +. Jack
son is native of Wicomico and not yet
fifty years old. He was reared OH
farm and in his young manhood was a
school teacher. Later he kept a village
store, but some years ago engaged in
the lumber trade, which has grown to
large proportions. He is a man of firm
ness of character, and is highly es-
teemed in the eastern shore section of
the state, where he has lived all his life.
A recess was taken, during which
TIE REST OF THE SLATE
was fixed up, and when the convention
with rush. Col. Louis Victor Baugh-
man, of Frederick. one of the unSuccess-
full candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination, was chosen for the comp
trOllerShip, and Hon. William Pinkney
White for attorney general. Both were
nominated by acclamatiOn. This COM
pleteS the ticket. The placing of
White Oh the state ticket means COM
plete reconciliation between him and
Senator German. The enmity between
these two men for the past six or seven
years has been intense. and they have
regarded each other with
IAIPLACABLE HATRED.
White has time and again said that he
never WOulu accept nomination from
the regular Democrats so long as Sena-
tor German was at the head, and Cor
man has as frequently iterdted that
White must be given no power. 1t is
whispered that eX-U S. Senator Henry
S. Davis, of West Virginia, was the
peacemaker and that this may have
had something to do with it. Davis is
president of the West Virginia Cen
real railway. German is large stock
holder in the road, and White is coun-
sci for the company. The West Vir-
ginia Central wants to buy the CheSa-
peake & Ohio canal from the state of
MARYLAND, so as to build railroad from
Cumberland to Tidewater. With
White as counsel for the road and at the
same time attorney general for the
state, the opponents of Mr.. German say
this scheme would be much more easy
of accomplishments than otherwise.

SUPERIOR, Wis, July 27.-John Don
ahue. one of the victims of the railroad
accident at Cumberland last Sunday
night, was the hero of life-saving Incl
dent in this town about two years ago.
He was pulling a freight train out from
the Omaha yard and had got up to the
speed of six or eight miles to the hour,
when he discovered an infant child sit
ting on the rail, so near that he could
not have stopped the train before the
engine would have been over the child.
CINE, he made his way quickly 10 the
front of the pilot. and with a strong
leap, catching the child as he leaped.
and holding it safe from harm, he landed
unhurt outside of the engines way.

PIPEsTONE, Mimi, July 27.-Pipe-
stone has had more than her share of
accidents the past day or two. Thomas
Schrader,O of Troy township. got his right
hand into separator and nearly had it
taken off. He will save the hand, but
may lose the third finger. Sam Robin
son. carpenter engaged in building a
barn, fell from the roof to the ground, a
distance of eighteen feet, and broke his
right collar bone and one rib. 1t is also
feared he is hurt internally. Albert
Russell, who was harvesting a mile
west of this village, narrowly escaped
instant death. He was driving five
horses hitched to harvester. Some
thing was wrong with the machine and
he got down to fix it. He got right in
front of the sickleS. when, without a
minutes warning, the horses started to
run. Albert just threw himself out of
the way OF the machine and escaped
with only cut hand and bruised arm.
l.. F. Crandall accidentally slipped and
fell in Hubbard Brothers machine
warehouse and struck on a piece of
pump tubing. He was knocked sense
less, but beyond the bruising of his left
side in the vicinity of his heart, was not
seriously hurt.

Jake Sharp's Case.

New YORK, July 27.-The argument
to make permanent the stay of proceed
ings in the case of Jacob Sharp was con-
tinued to-day before Judge Potter in the
supreme court. Mr. Parsons began his
argument for Sharp after the court
opened. They were here. he said, to
impress on the court that there was a
reasonable doubt and to ask that the
court in this case would grant that
which i'll civil case was a matter of
right. He could not see why this appli-
cation should be cOmbated which In al
most every ordinary case was considered
a matter of right.
Mr.. Parsons was followed by District
Attorney MARITIME and lie by Assistant
District Attorney Nicoll, who occupied
the time up to the hour of adjournment.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 27.-The sensa-
ton which was caused at the capital of
the Dominion over the startling revela-
tions made within the past few days as
to the traffic in young girls from twelve
to fourteenth which a number of
prominent citizens as well as several
politicians are mplicated-prOmises to
develop into a scandal even greater than
that exposed recently by the Pail Mall
Gazette. One scandal following an
other so closely in the metropolitan city
has incensed the citizens generally
Last night meeting was held under
the auspices of the Society of the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children with a
view to devise some means by which
the great stain Oh the capitals good
name might he removed. Special legiS-
latiOn, it was decided, would be neceS-
sary to attain that end, and the matter
must therefore become the subject of
SPECIAL LEGISLATION
at the next session of parliament before
any law can be enacted to reach tie
culprits. 1t is possible, owing to the
fact that the chief of police has evidence
iii his possession which would criminate
several prominent politicians if brought
into court, that such means, if intro
uuCcu lltO pd1lldillClit, NOulu UC UC-
feated, guilty members of the senate and
house of commons (whOSe names are
freely mentiOneD fearing that their in
dorsement of such measure and subse-
quent Investigation would criminate
themselves. The announcement that a
messenger in the house of commons
named Bell has entered an action
against Sir Charles Upper, minister of
finance, Oh behalf of his wife for detect
i've work she performed for Sir Charles,
is causing great sensation here. Bell
said yesterday that Sir Charles having
charged him with blackmail, he is now
publishing pamphlet in which he in
tends to show up the character of Sir
Charles and member of parliament
named Colyb, who were at one time
boarders in his house. The pamphlet
will be published i'll three weeks, he
says, and until it is given to the public
the startling revelations which Mr.. Bell
promises to give to the world will not be
known. He says, i'll point of sensation,
they excel the late exposures given to
the public in one of the London journals.

THE ATLANTA.
A "War VesseF' That Is of No
Value Whatever.

NEWPORT, R. l., July 27.-The board
appointed by Secretary Whitney on Fri
day last to inspect the Atlanta and take
command of her until his orders had
been fully carried out, met on board the
vessel Monday. The beard was busy
all that day and the next examining the
armament of the Atlanta. The result
will be communicated to Secretary Whit
ney when the board completes its Ia
bOrs. The result of the labOrS of the
board, summarized are as follows: The
ship is at present practically useless.
Her structure apperas to be strong and
free from weakness, but the armament
is hOrs de combat. The injury to the
eight-inch gun carriages is such that
they cannot again be used until thor
oughly repaired. The damage to the
clip circle and clips is such that if re-
paired the board would not be war
ranted in firing the guns, arepetitlOn of
the injury to them being inevitable.
The board does not think that this por-
ton of the fittings of the vessel was ever
intended to retard the recOil of guns,
and the damage done is in excess of
what is reasonable. The uncertain be-
havior of the eight-inch guns makes it
ineXpedient to again subject the vessel
to firing tests. 1t is manifest from the
location of the siX-inch guns that if used
the eight-inch guns would be idle, as it
would be impossible to work both guns
at the same time. The smaller second
ary battery is also useless while either
the eight OF six inch guns are fired.
The result is that the Atlantic as YES
sci of war, as the armament IS now ar
ranged, is absolutely worthless. The
discharge of the heavy power guns is
likely to be followed by injury to the
vessel. The three batteries; which
ought to be so arranged as to be fired
Simulta neOuSly, are imperative for
single fire. The board will further report
that until the repairs are made which
the present condition of the ship really
demands it is out of the question to
think of making any thor0ugfteStS OF
any part of her battery. What is true
of the Atlanta is also true of the Boston
and probably tine Chicago. Capt. Bunce,
commanding the Atlanta, prudently
tested the effect of the discharge of the
eight-inch guns before exposing the
men. The first sheep put near the gun
was blown, nobody knows where. The
second sheep was tied around the body
with small rope and slack enough
given it to allow freedom of movement.
The animal was tossed high into the air
and drawn back by the rope dead
creature. Other objects were placed
near the six-inch guns and in every in
stance the warning was to keep away
from the guns when discharged. The
board will probably finish its labors and
adjourn this week, it being out of the
range of probability that the tests laid
down by Secretary Whitney will ever be
executed.

Buried the Wrong Man.

OMAHA, Neb., July 27.-A strange
case of mistaken identity came to light
at Hastings, Neb., to-day. Sunday the
body of Hugh McConley, one of the
victims of the st. Thomas, Ont, disas-
ter, was brought there on request of the
father for interment. McConleywas the
name of one of the killed. and as he was
expected TO be OH the train the father
concluded it was his son. He was given
a coed burial, and the father remained
in grief until to-day, when the supposd
dead and buried man walked i'll safe and
sound. He had not been in the disaster
at all. The father had not seen his son
for twelve years and did not know that
the corpse was not his.

The Chicago Boodlers.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Only petty jobs of
the Doodle gang were exposed in the
trial of the county commissioners to-
day. This class of evidence was appar-
emily inexhaustible and emphasized we'll
the extent to which the thieving was
carried. A notable instance was the
testimony of Isaac Loper, a dry goods
merchant. LOper told how Warden
Varnell, Of the county insane asylum,
in ordering bale of muslin left his
measure for two suits of silk underwear.
The muslin for the asylum and the silk
underwear for the warden were paid
for by the county, the underwear being
charged up as an additional bale Of
muslin. J. P. Sharp, of Sharp q Smith,
surgical instrument manufacturers, re-
lated how he billed to the county at re-
tail instead of wholesale prices, paying
the 25 per cent. difference to the bood-
ler's pool. In addition he paid 10 per
cent. to Druggist f. Murphy, whom the
boodlers were using as a collector. Muir
ply has been missing for several weeks.
